All I can say is that the "mickey mouse" plastic air tube leading to the air cannister (and thence through the U tube into the turbo) does not appear to be impacted by either round headlamps, or square headlamps)

Maybe I misspoke. The air tube that goes in behind the right headlamp

natural air gap where these Euros do not so I'm starving something of
air. I'll shoot a pic later.
